Publisher's Summary

Lessons born in the Wonder Years nostalgia of a 1980s childhood find their wings decades later in this true coming-of-age story of a singer-songwriter reinventing his life outside the shadow of his mother's dementia. 

Open Up unfolds during the same day as the number-one best-selling Living Halfway, with all of the heart, vulnerability, and humanity of its literary fraternal twin, but none of the cynicism. Familiar scenes are seen through a different lens, suggesting not only the power of a changed perspective, but also what beauty we might find inside. 

If we can just open up.
